As the Seahawks celebrated their stirring Sunday night win over the 49ers at a Bellevue bar with more than 600 people present, a shooting claimed the life of a 30-year-old man and wounded another.

''From what we know our guys were in a separate area and nobody was involved at all,’' coach Pete Carroll said Monday, via the Associated Press. ''It was an awful thing that happened.’'

Witnesses described chaos at the facility known as Munchbar, explaining that they dove for cover and/or went to the floor when shots were fired.

An arrest warrant was issued Monday night for a 19-year-old suspect.
